Pössl showed recipe for cheap motorhome in the 1990s: bathroom, kitchen and fixed bed at the price of an empty van
Original source: AutoŽivě.cz

In 1996, the Pössl Duo Van cost 45,885 marks — exactly the same as an empty panel van at a German dealership. The company bought Peugeot chassis in Slovenia at wholesale prices and outsourced series production of the living module to Adria, a Slovenian caravan manufacturer with lower costs. Today, this model is used by many brands: Carado, Adria, Weinsberg and Pössl offer six-metre campervans with a bathroom and fixed bed from €47,499 to €63,379. A production campervan is significantly cheaper than a custom conversion, but the base price often excludes essential options.

Pössl has unveiled the Roadster XL Evo, a 7-metre camper based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. It features longitudinal single beds measuring 2.06 m and 1.95 m, plus an electrically height-adjustable bed that creates a garage for bicycles underneath. Standard equipment includes all-wheel drive, a diesel heater, a wet bath with a partition, and a kitchen with a gas hob. The base price is expected to be just under €100,000, with a well-equipped version costing around €20,000 more.

At the Caravan Salon, Dethleffs presented the C.Core concept vehicle, which is not a preview of a production model but a test platform. It features lightweight materials (Necto, recycled PET), modular furniture, a deployable solar panel with up to 600 W output, a closed-loop water system with filtration, and a projector instead of a TV. Dethleffs says the system can operate largely autonomously from May to September under favorable conditions.

In the night before Sunday, a caravan parked in a large parking lot on Poelchaustraße in Marzahn-Hellersdorf burned out completely. When firefighters arrived, the trailer was already fully engulfed in flames; the rapid extinguishing prevented the fire from spreading to nearby cars, which were only damaged by the heat. A propane cylinder stored in the caravan also caught fire, but was extinguished and continuously cooled to prevent bursting. The cause of the fire is not yet known; police have launched an investigation.
